I missed this announcement but if our Minister said that AHS was responsible for recruiting ER docs for rural hospitals, well, she is largely wrong.
Let me explain this a bit as I suspect many others don't understand this distinction either. /1
A critical correction govt should understand regarding "recruitment of ER docs in rural": ER docs in rural communities are FM specialists!
No Rural Generalists in these communities = closed hosptials and EDs.
That's why the new funding model for FM is desperately needed
